          Chapter 23 Social Change and Markets in Human Hope (pp. 391 to 424)

          "Rana El Chemaitelly is a mother of three; an independent businessperson who ran her own digital photography company for 12 years until the service became a commodity; an engineer with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and a master's degree in engineering management; and an instructor at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon.

          Inputs in Design
          Now, with your own possible solution in mind, consider two observations that influenced El Chemaitelly's thinking. The first was that she found her students at the American University unprepared for their studies in engineering and unsure of what they might do with their education when they graduated. And the second was that her own seven-year-old son was so captivated by video games that he was missing out on many of the social aspects of childhood."
